Heading into the 2012 season as the fourth oldest player on North Melbourne’s list, Aaron Edwards is relishing the challenge of taking on greater responsibility around Aegis Park.

"I try to do a lot more talking, especially out on the track,” Edwards said in an exclusive chat with kangaroos.com.au on Thursday.

“Because of the younger list it can be a bit quiet, but a lot of the younger guys are stepping up well and we're all going along together."

The 27 year-old spoke about how this pre-season ranks amongst others he’s been part of, his success on the field in 2011 and the pressure of performing with plenty of competition for spots in the forward line.
